@tikitu A very beautiful #photograph of the beetle #Pygopleurus #vulpes (#Glaphyridae,#Scarabaeoidea), which is native to Greece and Eastern European regions, including Romania, Russia, and Ukraine.The long, contrasting #bodyhairs of the #males are striking, serving as a form of #mimicry to protect them from predators. They mimic the appearance of a defensive #bumblebee, with which birds,for example,have had negative experiences, but also improve pollination, a benefit especially for red plants.

The red #fox #Vulpes vulpes (#Canidae, #Carnivora) is known in fairy tales for its cunning and intelligence. From a #biological perspective, it is one thing above all: #adaptable. This also explains the quite large #population of #urban #foxes in #Berlin. Sometimes individuals appear in crowded city #parks on the brightest day and go about their way without fear, like here at Plötzensee Park.

A female red fox (Vulpes vulpes) on a freshly mown meadow.
She was only 30 metres away when she finally saw us and slunk off into a cornfield.
